Princess Birthday Hat

I was able to snap a shot of my daughter wearing the Birthday Crown yesterday, but she was hoping for something more girly and pink. This was all the pink felt I had and I was wishing for some hot pink tulle but she thinks her cousin will like it anyway!

I cut the shape out of a sheet of felt, making it as big as possible. Then I ironed interfacing to one side of the felt.

I embellished the outside by sewing on some felt details.

I cut 4 strips of tulle about 4 inches wide in different lengths. The longest was about 36 inches. Fold the felt right sides together and place the tulle in the middle with the end sticking out of the top. Sew as close to the edge as possible. Be careful to only catch the end of the tulle in the seam.

Sew a piece of elastic string to the inside at each side. Turn right side out and there you go!

Hey! This hat is adorable! My daughter is celebrating (with a princess party) her 4th on Saturday and I want to make this hat. I'm a bit of a novice at sewing though and have some questions? what kind of interfacing do I need? was your felt very floppy or on the stiff side (mine is very thin and floppy). What exactly is the size/template for the shape you cut out of the felt? Just something to eyeball? I am no good at that, nor at cones...anyway, if you can offer any help, it's much appreciated, otherwise I'll just slog my way through! Thanks!!amber

What a cute crown!! Love the green too! I got your 'thank you' DM on Twitter and tried to DM you back but can't because you aren't a follower....ahh. I'm still trying to get the gist of the whole Twitter thing, hehe. Anyway, love your site...I have you in my Craft links on my blog...so fun!

Wow, adorable. I have 2 birthdays coming up and this is definitely on my to do list. Even without the birthday factor.. the cone shaped birthday hat is perfect for princess dress up.. Felt is just do durable. Love it!

This is just too cute! Do you have the number templates available? I loved the letter templates you had for the tote bag - I used this them this weekend to make a t-shirt for my daughter & she loved it. Thanks so much for great ideas :)
